Martin Scorsese’s ‘Hugo’ is free on iTunes today

As part of its "12 Days of Gifts" promotion, Apple is giving away free copies of the movie Hugo. The 2011 film was directed by Academy Award-winner Martin Scorsese, and focuses on a young orphan named Hugo that lives in a Parisian train station. It's this blend of family-friendly action, humor, and genuinely interesting insight into the history of cinema that makes Hugo a winner — it has a 94 percent approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes — and the first Apple gift this year worth getting excited about.
